a night at the husaineya ...

*UPDATE 4-2-06*

HAPPY BDAY DIIGMAA :* I LOVE YOU !!




this is the familys husaineya, so its only women and girls, thats why some tasks are more like great achievments. and im proudl of us all :) u did great girls ;*

*First the ONION:
the Onion is the no.1 wanted thing in every husaineya. cause they use it in everything!!!
we had to cut and peal sacks of onions then cook them!! i dont know if thats considered cooking? but in my terms it is. u have to put it in the "gidir" and cook it untill it turns reddish "caramel color" .. u think thats simple right!! but its not! the great amount of it, makes it very hard to simply stir, turn and move, i developed muscle last night! NOT TO MENTION THE SMELL! hehehehehhe and u have to constantly move it so that onions in the bottom wont burn! -phew- task was done succesfully al7imdellah :)
*SECOND new discoveries:
i learned allllll about spices!!! things i never knew existed... theyre names and smells and theyre importance. like umm!! i forgot its name,,, but its small and green..makes nice smell.
and there was "hail" "mismar" "loomi aswad" "darseen" "9imag" "zafaraan" :S i cant belive i know all of this!
theres also "dihin 3adani" which i loved!! hehehhe but very very fattning.
*Four: puck puck puck ... pucaaaaaack!!!!
the pooor chicken!! i lost count really!! heheheheh i was just looking at them coz to me thats the professional zone .. i just looked few yards away ;p with admiration. and it tasted great!
*Seven the after cooking math:
i skiped five and six which was "rice" and "meat" but it was just like the chicken part
"the professional zone"
so yes this we do AFTER were done ... wash the dishes, most of the times considered the easy task!! not this time! lol coz some of the "dishes" were larger than my self lol
*Eight sprakle:
just be happy and praise ur self. and right on time! btw fairy is the best! ;) it smelled like strawberies :)
*Nine: the LISTS and NAMES:
.. of all the houses and people and families we will send the food to! very very messed up! and hard to organise. next time were going with computers!! postits didnt work well:(

then after everything is done, bair in mind non of us had any sleep! coz through the night ur working then praying then reading some dua'a then chit chatting with the girls :p then working again.
its always great to see the girls.. u know every year we see eachother and its special.
very spiritual time, very different from our everyday life. a time that i just need and miss.
everything must be sent to where it supposed to be before lunch time. so drivers go crazy to.
we go attend the graya it finishes around 11:30 am. the sandness and pain of it grows with time which i think is a miracle!
i then come back home beat! "5yoooooooo6", shower, go to bed! and surrender to sleep.

ابد والله لن ننسا حسينا

*ps: im leaving to dubai for a week, will miss u all. again my great one of a kind assistant dooda will be publishing all ur comments :* and no im not taking jazeera airways this time :(

I am not familiar with the Husaineya, But I think that spice you were talkin about it either Za3tar or 7assa el Ban (Rosemary) , I am not sure

I am a very good cook , cooking makes me forget all ma worries.. aside from being doctor of course.. which is very capable of making me forget my NAME!

Nice blog you have :)

Amz said...
